            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Importance of Education</h3><blockquote>times unknown education has been a thing to be cherished, a thing that helps people grow, out of ignorance and into responsible citizens. It was the elixir for a successful life, the boon humans need to make something of their life. Marks and grades were introduced as a criterion to judge the consistency of the students, to chalk their abilities up and categorize them according to what they need from the teachers and the system. <br>But now? What’s happening now? Instead of being something that motivates them, these grades and marks have become a standard that students feel they need to pass to be worthy of a life. Sure enough marks are important but they are not the devisor of a child’s whole life. Grades are just that, grades. These days there’s so much pressure upon students about getting the best of the grades, from both parents and teachers, that it has led to a lot of unnecessary strain upon the children. The so-called &quot;GenZ&quot; has become so nihilistic that they make suicidal jokes about lores like Kota and the stress it puts kids under. <br>Not only there needs to be a huge amount of improvement in the contemporaneous institutional education but there also needs to be a change in place in the attitudes of the people dealing with schoolkids these days. We need to motivate our children, not drive them to the brink of making jokes about suicide.</blockquote><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=8c2de3cfbe85" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Education Has Become a Business Today</strong></p><p><em>There is no denying that education has become a business in many ways. With the rising costs of tuition and the commercialization of education, many people feel that education has become more about making money than providing quality learning experiences for students.</em></p><p>One way that education has become a business is through the rising costs of tuition. Many students are taking out large loans to pay for their education, and universities are charging increasingly high fees to cover their costs. This has led some people to question whether education is still accessible to everyone, or if it has become a privilege for the wealthy.</p><p>Another way that education has become a business is through the commercialization of education. Many schools and universities are partnering with corporations to offer courses and programs that are designed to meet the needs of the business world. While this can be beneficial for students who are looking to enter the workforce, it has also raised concerns about the role of education in society and whether it should be driven by market forces.</p><p>Despite these concerns, it is important to remember that education is still a critical component of personal and societal growth. While there may be challenges associated with the commercialization of education, there are also many opportunities for innovation and growth within the field. Ultimately, it is up to educators and policymakers to find a balance between the business aspects of education and the core mission of providing high-quality learning experiences for students.<br> — — <strong>Team Drops of Change</strong></p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=e549efd7c93e" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>
